or counterclockwise to lower it.

Once the washer is level from side to side
and front to back, tighten all locknuts
securely.
Make sure that all 4 leveling feet are in firm
contact with the floor.
NOTE: To make sure that the washer is
properly level, run the washer with a test
load: place approximately 6 pounds of
laundry in the machine. Then, press POWER,
press RINSE+SPIN, and then press the
START/PAUSE button. See the following
sections for additional information on cycle
selection and operation.
Verify that the washer does not rock or
vibrate excessively during the spin cycle.
If the washer vibrates or shakes, adjust
the leveling feet until the washer is stable
and retest.
Position the washer in the final location,
taking special care to not pinch, strain, or
crush the water and drain lines. Place a level
across the top of the washer.

The drum of your new washer spins at very high
speeds, up to 1,100 RPM. To minimize vibration,
noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must
be a perfectly level, solid surface.
NOTE: Adjust the leveling feet only as far as
necessary to level the washer. Extending the
leveling feet more than necessary can cause
the washer to vibrate.

INSTALLATION OF NON-SkID PADS (OPTIONAL)
Some floor surfaces are too slippery to prevent
the washer from moving on the floor during heavily
unbalanced loads. While it is normal for an
occasional load to be out of balance, excess noise
and vibration can result from the washer moving out
of position. If these conditions are encountered,
follow the instructions below for installation of the
non-skid pads. These pads will help prevent the
washer from moving during heavy out of balance
conditions thereby reducing noise and vibration.

• Non-skid pads
• All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the fl oor.
Rock the washer gently from corner to corner to
make sure that the washer does not rock.
If you are installing the washer on the optional
pedestal, you must use the leveling feet on the
pedestal to level the washer. The washer’s leveling
feet should be fully retracted and locked into
position with the locknuts.
